In 1993, a federally funded project began at the University of Hawaii to educate students from a variety of health professions (nursing, medicine, dental hygiene, psychology, public health, and social work) about the challenges of working as an interdisciplinary team in rural health settings. After nine months of study, this education culminated in students participating in interdisciplinary team projects in rural areas of Hawaii. The development and funding of interdisciplinary rural health projects across the United States reflects the growing awareness that limited resources and access to health in rural areas requires resource sharing, both physical and non-physical. Exposing students to information about rural health care, and then providing hands-on opportunities for teamwork with fellow students in a rural setting, can serve an additional and critical function: to recruit to rural areas healthcare workers who are already aware of the challenges and rewards of this type of practice.
1993年，夏威夷大学启动了一个由联邦政府资助的项目，旨在让来自各种健康专业（护理、医学、口腔卫生、心理学、公共卫生和社会工作）的学生了解在农村卫生环境中作为跨学科团队开展工作所面临的挑战。经过九个月的学习，这种教育最终让学生参与到夏威夷农村地区的跨学科团队项目中。美国各地跨学科农村卫生项目的开展和资金投入反映出一种日益增强的意识，即农村地区资源有限且获得医疗服务的机会不足，这需要在实物和非实物方面都进行资源共享。让学生接触农村医疗保健信息，然后在农村环境中为他们提供与同学一起进行实际团队合作的机会，还能发挥一项额外的关键作用：招募那些已经了解这种工作类型的挑战和回报的医护人员到农村地区工作。
